| Considering that there are two mitigating circumstances, the prescribed penalty is reduced to prision mayor in its maximum period to reclusion temporal in its medium period, to be imposed in any of its periods. The new penalty has a range of ten (10) years and one (1) day to seventeen (17) years and four (4) months. Applying the Indeterminate Sentence Law,[91] the maximum term could be ten (10) years and one (1) day of prision mayor maximum, while the minimum term is again one degree lower[92] and could be four (4) years, two (2) months and one (1) day of prision correccional maximum. | |||||

CORONA, J. |

| The nature, number and location of the wounds sustained by the victim disprove accused-appellant's claim of self-defense.[25] On this account, the appellate court correctly ruled that the accused-appellant's version that he fought face to face with the victim was inconsistent with the fatal stab wound at the victim's back. Moreover, the wounds inflicted by accused-appellant on the victim indicated a determined effort to kill and not merely to defend.[26] | |||||
